Miscellaneous Notes

  • With a final-round score in the 60s, Bryson DeChambeau (2nd/-10) would join Cameron Smith (67-68-69-69/2020/T2) as the only players to shoot all four rounds in the 60s in a single tournament; owns the most rounds in the 60s at major championships since the start of 2024 (11); in each of the last eight Masters, the eventual champion sat T2 or better through 54 holes
  • Corey Conners (3rd/-8) seeks his best finish in a major championship (previous, T6/2022 Masters Tournament); looks to join Mike Weir (2003) as the only Masters champions from Canada
  • Patrick Reed (T4/-6), Scottie Scheffler (T6/-5) and Zach Johnson (T10/-4) are the only past Masters champions among players at T10 or better on the leaderboard; Johnson’s 6-under 66 marks a span of 28 rounds since his last round in the 60s at the Masters (68/R4/2015)
  • Ludvig Åberg (T4/-6) is five strokes better on the par-5 15th through three rounds in 2025 (birdie, par, birdie) than he was on the same hole in 2024 when he was a cumulative 3-over en route to a runner-up finish
